No problem, Terri. Could you please tell me more about the legal issue you're currently facing in North Carolina? This will help me provide you with the most accurate information.
My mother left her home to my brother and myself when she died...My nephew is living in it at the present time and says he wants to buy it but he's said that for * yrs now that he's lived in it and not payed any rent at all. I want out of it and I need to know what i need to do I want out either one of them to buy me out or we need to sell it I'm tried of fighting with them
I understand your situation, Terri. Here are some steps you could consider:
- Ask your nephew to leave the property voluntarily.
- If he refuses, consult with a North Carolina attorney on eviction proceedings.
- Meanwhile, negotiate a buyout price with your brother or nephew.
- If negotiations fail, you may need to file a partition lawsuit to force the sale of the home.
Please consult with a lawyer for detailed advice.
thank you
You're welcome, Terri! If you have any other questions or need further clarification, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck with your situation.
